Cheers. I saw his WAFL campaign last season and originally had him in the mix to take late before he didn't feature in JLT. Given the way the AFL makes it easy for those that don't do research these days and the WAFL is the only state league running currently, it was clear if I wanted him I'd have to grab him now. Given I thought Kerridge, Wilson, Adams, Stewart, Sinclair, Fiorini, and possibly Aliir if he'd got enough miles in the legs could be selected, that gave me enough cover to take the gamble.

Wasn't expecting him to be selected just yet given the way Ross was downplaying the WAFL result, he's young (which Ross is allergic to) and that he didn't feature in JLT. The manner Ross tossed his name out as an aside in the presser though, makes me think that he won't be too far away if he keeps his form up.

After checking you've signed them today, so they're in your squad but can't be selected until Round 3.

Players have to be signed before the start of a round in order to be available for selection for the current round - once the round starts, players can still be signed but aren't eligible to play until the next round.

Yeah as I said at the time, normally I would've kept him as I traditionally keep 4-5 options to fight for the last 1-2 keeper spots over pre-season, but I was trying something different by trading out those options and finishing basically with my 20 pre-set.

To be fair I wasn't expecting Hampson to cripple himself, as any ruck who only gets a chop out is going to score well as long as they can either find the ball, or tackle.

He would've made my keepers ahead of Adams, but Witts isn't disgracing himself.

According to Swans fans, Longmire doesn't play mind games (read: doesn't make many late changes), so I'm not expecting Aliir to play tonight - ought to be back in next week though. Speaking of ex-Fogtrotters, Richmond's latest experiment: Connor Menadue - inside mid..............................I've got nothing

Ross is at least eminently predictable in his stupidity, downplaying the WAFL performance and no kids in, meant Tucker was a good shot to line up...now maybe you could play him for more than half a game, of course he is a good kick and all your faves are turnover merchants...yeah best keep him on the bench, can't get too far ahead in your rebuild, might have to stop playing Suban.
